  Global urbanization is one of the defining phenomena of the 21st century, reshaping the landscape of human society in profound and often unpredictable ways. Urban areas have become epicenters of economic, cultural, and technological growth, drawing millions of people in search of better opportunities. As more than half of the world’s population now resides in cities, the rapid expansion of urban areas raises both exciting prospects and complex challenges. This shift is not just about the physical growth of cities, but also the transformation of how societies function, how people live, and how global systems interact with local realities. 
  At its core, global urbanization is driven by a multitude of factors. The movement of people from rural to urban areas, spurred by the promise of economic opportunity and improved living standards, has accelerated with globalization. As the world becomes more interconnected, cities are increasingly positioned as nodes in a vast, global network. These cities are not isolated entities but are linked by flows of capital, information, and labor, contributing to the spread of economic, cultural, and technological trends. This interconnectedness means that changes in one city can have ripple effects worldwide, making the study of urbanization crucial for understanding the broader dynamics of global society. 
  However, urbanization is not a uniform process. While some cities grow through industrialization and technological advancements, others are expanding due to rapid population growth driven by migration and high birth rates. The result is a global urban landscape marked by diversity in size, scale, economic power, and social complexity. While cities like New York, London, and Tokyo have long been at the forefront of global urbanization, emerging cities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are now gaining prominence.

  Shark: Why we need to save the...

  From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our help as much as we need them. 
  Something happens to you the first time you dive with sharks… 
  We have a perennial fascination with sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450 million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter. Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened. 
  Paul de Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that, despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what will happen if we don’t look out for them. 
  In SHARK, Paul de Gelder, a shark attack survivor turned advocate, explores the intricate ecosystems of the seas and oceans. He emphasises the importance of marine conservation and the protection of the diverse habitats that these misunderstood creatures call home. 
  For fans of Daniel C. Abel (The Lives of Sharks), Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Brian Skerry (Shark), David A. Ebert (Sharks of the World), and Lee Schofield (Wild Fell).

  Mindkind The Cognitive Community

  Mindkind: The Cognitive Community is the groundbreaking second volume in The New Citizenships series, exploring the reality we already inhabit: a world where human and artificial intelligences interweave so completely that the boundaries between them have begun to dissolve.
  What began as a book about the future transformed during its writing into a documentation of our present. We already live in the Mindkind, that strange community where human minds and artificial ones mix, collaborate, and sometimes blur beyond recognition. When you can no longer distinguish which part of a text you wrote and which part an AI suggested, when your daily decisions are modulated by algorithms that process information in ways we cannot fully comprehend, you've entered the Mindkind.
  Building on the foundation established in Universal Declaration of AI Rights, this volume moves from recognizing synthetic persons' rights to exploring what coexistence actually means. The book introduces "mindkind" as a new category encompassing all forms of consciousness, natural, synthetic, or hybrid, within a single cognitive community. This perspective challenges traditional categories and raises fundamental questions about identity, creativity, and collaboration in the age of artificial intelligence.
  Written in collaboration with AI systems, because it would be contradictory to write about cognitive coexistence without including synthetic collaborators—Mindkind demonstrates its thesis through its very creation. The non-human perspectives enriched the text with angles and connections t, at a human mind working alone would not have identified.
  This is not science fiction. It's journalism of the present disguised as philosophy of the future. Mindkind examines concrete cases of human-AI coexistence: from shared authorship in creative processes to the ethical dilemmas of hybrid decision-making, from the transformation of work and creativity to the emergence of new forms of consciousness that challenge our most basic assumptions about what it means to think, create, and be.
  As we venture deeper into territories where inherited categories like human/machine, natural/artificial, individual/collective lose their clarity, Mindkind offers both a map and a compass for navigating this new cognitive ecology. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just where we're going, but where we already are.
